Thursday brought two major hearings to Capitol Hill. The first was Attorney General Eric Holder on the whole “Fast and Furious” issue. After many half responses, non-responses, and dissembling left and right, came this little interaction between Eric Holder and Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) in the video below:

Or at least that was the impression this headline from The Hill wanted us to believe, “Signs Of Turning Tide On Economy Lift Democrats, Obama’s Hopes.” Oh, Happy Day! Woohoo! The tide has turned, the economy is recovering, people are going back to work, Obama has parted the waters and slowed their rising, oh Hallelujah… [...]

Yes, it is that time of year again, when Obama and Family head off to Hawaii for a bit of R&R. Obama’s SEVENTEEN day vacation is set to start on December 17th. His office said he had no public events planned. In other words, this is a total vacation from all of his hard work. [...]

Yes, now that Barney Frank has decided not to run for re-election, he has decided to actually do the work of the people. No, seriously – he is. But it took him saying he was leaving to do it, and this is a BIG issue. And that would be Obamacare. Specifically, the Independent Payment Advisory [...]

Now THERE is a headline I can get behind, from the National Journal. Yes, a variety of sources are reporting today that Democratic pollsters are a bit concerned about Obama’s re-election campaign, and what would happen should he get (NOOOO!) a second term. I gotta tell you, this is a welcome headline indeed. And just [...]

There are some interesting stories about today. Well, some are downright disconcerting, like the Super Committee being on the verge of a Super Fail. Seriously, people – this is the nation’s well-being at heart. Forget party already, and figure out something on which you all can agree. Good grief. Or like this one: the OWS [...]

On Wednesday, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac executives had to appear before Congress to discuss the recent issue of their wanting to give themselves some big, huge bonuses. Needless to say, the Congresspeople were none too thrilled with these folks, as this LA Times article highlights: The chief executives of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac [...]

Apparently, Joe Biden is an easy lay because all it takes is the mere mention of giving Solyndra a cool half billion of our tax dollars to get him all hot and bothered. Incredibly, this is all contained in an email (well, more or less – they didn’t have the “easy lay” part, my partner [...]

Well, well, well, seems Barack Obama’s message isn’t as Fresh! and New! as we were led to believe it was. Recently discovered was this 2004 ad campaign by Barack Obama, complete with his fake Southern sing-songy accent (though as the Daily Caller article points out, he was in a church so you know, he had [...]

~Bumped up~ That are going to make my head explode. First, news that the ten executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which are still operating in the red, and which are largely to blame for the housing crisis, got BONUSES. And I am not talking little bonuses, either. Those ten mo-fos got = and [...]

Over the past few years, according to Obama. Yes, he really did. He claimed we were better off now. See for yourselves:

Not long ago, I reported that there were questions as to whether or not the State Department had been in the know about the DOJ’s “Gunwalking” program due to the connections in Mexico. While I was out of town, it seems Secretary Clinton addressed that very question (major H/T to Artemis for sending me this [...]

Sadly, so it would appear. You may recall a story from back in February of this year regarding two ICE agents attacked in a brutal assault down in Mexico. One agent was injured, the other, Jaime Zapata, was killed. Now it appears that Agent Zapato was killed as a result of a weapon from the [...]

I know I have been writing a lot about the Department of Justice, but they keep pulling stupid shit, so what choice do I have? Ahem. From the incredibly stupid “Fast and Furious” which has cost a number of lives to the recent revelation of the DOJ pulling its terror manual because it mentions Islam, [...]

So warns the United States Embassy in Kenya, as they warn Americans about the danger in traveling there now. While they will not say for sure who they think will be carrying out the threat, there is this to consider: The warning comes after Kenya sent troops across the border into Somalia to pursue Islamist [...]
